First Impression
Nearly 150 bottles at an upscale Mexican spot in Fort Worth — and they're leaning hard into wines from northern Mexico's Coahuila region alongside heavy-hitting Spanish and Californian producers. A sommelier on staff signals they're taking this seriously, but those markups tell a different story.
Selection Deep Dive
This list swings for the fences with Mexican producers like Casa Madero and Tuma from Coahuila's wine country — a genuinely cool angle that most Mexican restaurants ignore entirely. They back it up with serious Spanish firepower from Vega Sicilia and Bodegas Ordóñez, plus California names like Aperture and Chimney Rock. The bubbles section alone runs from accessible Campo Viejo to proper Champagne like Taittinger and Moët & Chandon. It's ambitious and eclectic, but 150 selections means some bottles are sitting around collecting dust.
By the Glass
The research doesn't reveal specific by-the-glass options, which is a red flag for a list this deep. With a sommelier on staff and this much inventory, we'd expect a rotating BTG program to showcase those Mexican producers and move wine. If it exists, they're not advertising it — and that's a missed opportunity.
Casa Madero Cabernet — Unknown
Northern Mexico's oldest winery delivers serious Cabernet that'll surprise doubters — and it's likely one of the more fairly priced bottles here given the markup pattern elsewhere
Tuma Shiraz
Mexican Shiraz from Coahuila sounds like a gimmick until you try it — bold, sun-soaked fruit with actual structure, and nobody else in Dallas-Fort Worth is pouring it
Campo Viejo Brut
At $36 for a $12 retail bottle, this is a 200% markup on grocery store bubbles — there are better sparkling options on this list that justify the spend
Casa Madero Cabernet + Tacos de Lengua
Mexican beef tongue meets Mexican Cabernet — the wine's structure and dark fruit cut through the richness while the regional connection makes it a no-brainer pairing
🎲 The Bottom Line
Don Artemio is doing something genuinely interesting with Mexican wine, but those steep markups (hello, $58 for a $20 bottle of El Bajío) keep it from being a full Rager. Still, for the adventurous drinker willing to pay the premium, this is the most exciting Mexican wine program in the Fort Worth area.
